Aggressive Central Giant Cell Granuloma of the jaw- A Case Report

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is an uncommon benign intraosseous lesion of jaws. The World Health Organization has defined it as an intraosseous lesion consisting of cellular fibrous tissue that contains multiple foci of hemorrhage, aggregations of multinucleated giant cells and occasionally trabeculae of woven bone. CGCG is of unknown etiology and uncertain pathogenesis, its histology and clinical behavior has been studied in detail. The behavior of CGCG is variable, most commonly producing an asymptomatic expansion of the jaws. However, it can be clinically aggressive, associated with pain, osseous destruction, cortical perforation, root resorption, and recurrence. Here we are presenting a case of a 32 year old female patient diagnosed as an aggressive subtype of CGCG.
